Isn't this issue almost exclusively caused by the Chinese fishermen?

Do you have a source for this? Or is it just speculation? To be honest it sounds kind of xenophobic to just randomly blame the Chinese.

  • I've read many news reports over the years that it's the Chinese fishing vessels encroaching upon the national waters of other nations, and overfishing them. Those vessels tend to obscure themselves by illegal means, whether by fishing at night and with almost no lights, or other means. They're also reported to be very aggressive, and their unsafe fishing techniques are very damaging to the environment.

    Nothing xenophobic or random. It's facts.

    Here's one article:

What evidence has lead you to this belief?

I'm getting downvoted by people who can't take 5 seconds to do a Google search and find a trove of information on my claim.
